I never thought that this is
where I'd settle down...
I thought I'd die an old man
back in my hometown...
They gave me this plot of land...
me and some other men...
for a job well done...
There's a big white house
sits on a hill just up the road...
The man inside he cried
the day they brought me home...
They folded up a flag...
and told my mom and dad...
"We're proud of your son."

And I'm proud to be on this
peaceful piece of property...
I'm on sacred ground
and I'm in the best of company...
I'm thankful for those
thankful for the things I've done...

I can rest in peace...
I'm one of the chosen ones...
I made it to Arlington....

I remember daddy
brought me here when I was eight...
We searched all day
to find out where my granddad lay...
And when we fin'ly found that cross...
He said: "Son this is what it costs...
to keep us free."...
Now here I am
A thousand stones away from him...
He recognized me
on the first day I came in...
And it gave me a chill...
when he clicked his heels...
and saluted me...

And I'm proud to be on this
peaceful piece of property...
I'm on sacred ground
and I'm in the best of company...
I'm thankful for those
thankful for the things we've done...
We can rest in peace
'cause we are the chosen ones...
We made it to Arlington...

And ev'ry time I hear...
twentyone.. guns...
I know they've brought
another hero home... to.. us...

We're thankful for those
thankful for the things we've done
We can rest in peace
'cause we are the chosen ones
We made it to Arlington
yeah dust to dust
Don't cry for us
we made it to Arlington..
